Where are the famous tomtom pics?!

 

Forgot my camera when packing up to head to SGT Taco's. There were a couple times I wish I had it but for the most part, glad it wasn't there to slow us down. Took us a bit longer than expected to get the job done.

 

understandable

 

I have seen Tacos all over the place today..

 

yeah abq is flooded with them... its interesting to see here in Jersey... there aren't many tacomas or mustangs, when I see one I get super excited haha.. big thing around here are subarus

 

never was in santa fe too much... only time I went there was either for the lame ass snowboarding or to drive through and go to better places to snowboard... went to the opera once too that was nice

 

oh nice... you gotta have some $$$ to get a decent WRX or a bad ass STI

 

lame.. I bought the wife a subaru outback impreza... its a fun little car (faster than my taco )

 

And all 4 of her wheels has power to them...

 

This.

 

After spending 10 hours under the truck last weekend, I'm not up for doing a big mod day. However, if anyone needs help with a project this weekend, shoot me a PM. I'll be out in the garage on Saturday finishing up a couple things on the truck.

I'm up for helping out on suspension work, changing fluids, tuning CBs or minor engine work.

Scotty, let me know if you have time in the near future to help aim my lights. I know you're getting busy but hoping it is an easy and quick project.

 

yup.. its that fancy ALL WHEEL DRIVE ...yeehaw.. itll be good for when it snows and shit

 

Not all 60's and Subaru's in Santa Fe. At least one bad ass '97 Taco in the mix Well, one bad ass no starter in yet with 2 busted lug studs taco, but that will get fixed up. I am seriously considering putting in slotted rotors since I have to tear it all down to that level to replace those lug studs anyway. And since I have to remove the caliper, why not paint it, right? That way when I do transition to 16 or 17 wheels, I'll have a nice blue caliper visible.

 

story of f'n life... I hoping the snow isnt too bad

Ill probably be going into the market for a 4runner when I get back from techschool.... We'll see if I can get a good deal for the stormtrooper over here

 

No worries, I wasn't in a position I could spend the day tooling anyway. The wife is peeved with all the time I have spent with my new lover anyway. At only 17 she is much younger, but she does weigh more and has only the one pair of shoes (lol). One day I will coordinate with you guys there in the Q or RR and come up to watch and learn, lend a pair of hands, that sort of thing.

 

Just so you don't learn the hard way... Do not engage your locker in the snow...

 

Where I live/work (Santa Fe/Los Alamos) you fling a dead cat you'll hit a Taco or three. If not then a Tundy or 4runner.

 

well I engaged it when we went on the big run over in espanola... I felt like I got more stability and wasnt slipping and sliding around.. was I in the wrong? whats the harm?

 

engaging a locker is a "best judgement" call. With both wheels locked to each other, you don't have an anchor wheel and it is easier for the back end to slide out to a side.

 

Ok I am officially now back in alamogordo. Just for this long weekend though. Any wheeling trips planned?
